Chapter 18

“I’m sorry.”  I yelled with tears running past my cheeks.

She stood over me like a ghost ready to haunt the life out of me.

“You have to get out of here.”  She whispered.

“Ma’am we are here because she wanted to see you.”  Sayaka stated.

“This isn’t the best time to talk.  The soldiers will be back at any time.”

“Acchan, please follow me.”

I looked up through the glassy image as she drew a smile.

“Miss, go ahead.  We will stay here to die.”

Acchan bit down on her lip and nodded as we headed to the barren road.

“The whole place is booby trapped.”  She explained.  “They made trip wires to prevent escape.”

I looked up and noticed the dark clouds over the horizon.

“We may need to find a bunker for now.”  Sayaka sighed.

Acchan showed us to the underground bunker and its contents.

“Let’s load up.”
